This stuff is greatThe rabbits were making us crazy. They were chewing up all the flowers and thought our house was the local "salad bar". Then I found Critter Ridder. It really works. They leave my flowers alone and I'm happy.

Skunks!My husband laughed when a skunk walked over my legs while I was in the back yard. He didn't think it was so funny when a mommy skunk and 2 babies came out from under our house to meet up with daddy in the back yard. Someone told him about Critter Ridder and we bought it the next day. The skunks are now gone and we haven't seen them in 5 days. We've lived in our house for over 25 years and have never seen skunks before, so this was new for us.

It works!It is the only thing that helps deter groundhogs. I sprinkle it along the perimeter fence where they dig under and around the plants they seem to prefer (petunias, bachelor buttons, mums). You do need to refresh it every 3-4 weeks, but that it is worth it.

I need something to keep the skunks out of the backyard and away from by dogs. Will this stuff hurt my girls? I was thinking I could sprinkle just outside the fence line.

Asked by: Raputa

Dogs are a target animal of this product. If applied near the fence line, they may avoid this area as well.

Will Critter Ridder® keep a mother from returning to her nest?

Asked by: Cathy

Chances are, not even Critter Ridder® will keep a mother away from her young. Despite the unpleasant environment Critter Ridder® creates, nothing is more unpleasant to a mother’s instincts than the inability to protect her babies.
